So this morning I took delivery of my Cardinal Red 2010 Equinox LS. This is my company car (awesome right). I was more than happy to give the dealership my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country with 90k miles a screaming power steering pump and some other noises I could not identify.
Being that it is a company car, they like to take certain things away from me. Like OnStar and Satellite radio and apparently the roof racks. Now, I have never owned a GM vehicle so while Im sure OnStar is great, I literally don't know what Im missing, but I am Sirius Radio hound. I have the plug and play unit I took out of the van, but I would really like the clean look of factory Satellite Radio like I have in my truck. Well, technically I have an aftermarket Kenwood in the truck, but the point is I don't have a goofy plug and play unit installed in it.
So I'm curious if anyone has been tearing into the dashboard of their new cars yet. What would I need to buy to reinstall SiriusXM in the Equinox? Is it something I can even buy? I'm very electronically inclined, so installation shouldn't be a problem I just need to know where to start. Im fairly certain that the large box like device behind my rear view mirror is the Satellite antenna. If its just a plug in unit I have no problem buying something like that for my company car, Im going to have it for at least 2.5 years I figure, and realistically if we like then as much as we do now, we might opt to buy it and keep it and let it be my sons first car, he will be close to driving then.
Anyways, thanks for any help you folks can provide. So far, I love the car. It rides nice and high, has good pickup for a 4cyl and while it doesn't have epic minivan like storage, its not a dam minivan and that accounts for so much awesomeness.
